Most likely to do with Viking links . Wouldn't be surprised to learn that both places have similar Viking histories. By means place so Grim's place whilst the ending gate comes from the Viking 'gata' meaning way

Great thread! Now I've got a Scottish team to support.

I'm of the era where I didn't fully realize there were other teams in Scotland apart from Celtic and Rangers till about my mid-thirties...

I always look out for Forfar's result, spent a weekend there when the open (golf) was at Carnoustie, lovely old hotel, floor sloped so by the morning all the blood had run into my head.

I always look out for Brechin City's result (not really sure why   ), even been to see them play twice.

Having said that I might have to find another Scottish LEAGUE team to take an interest in, the way this season is going.

I've been doing a bit of reading and can't find any even tedious  viking link. Could be more to do with them being Scotlands biggest fishing port and us the world's back in our heydays.

Would be interesting to find a local historian from up there to clarify the matter. Maybe they have a forum someone could enquire on?

Don't think it was Arbroath Pete.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Went to see them a few years back in the Scottish cup v Edinburgh University. A few of us went to see a mate who lives in Perth, but the St Johnstone game got called off.

Us all having a pass out, we got the train (replacement bus) to Arbroath and had a smokie and a few beers.

Highlight was the Uni centre forward, must have been a postgrad as he was about 45 (in age and in stone). He was getting stick all day, but then out of nowhere turned on a sixpence and chipped the keeper from about 35 yards.

If you think BP is cold on a winter's evening Gayfield is about ten degrees worse. Coldest I've ever been.

Wonder what happened to that striker ..hmmm..
